I've tried more to trigger "page allocation failure" with usual actions that
triggered it previously but couldn't reproduce. With these patches applied it
doesn't happen.
Logs from my tests:
http://ixion.pld-linux.org/~arekm/log-mm-3.txt.gz
http://ixion.pld-linux.org/~arekm/log-mm-4.txt.gz (with swap added)
But are these patches solving the problem or just hiding it?
